I have just got a Kobo Aura after filling my old Kindle, I have decided I need an ebook reader with more capacity and so far I am very happy.

1. Some books that I have transferred with Calibre I forgot to download the metadata for, so they were transferred without Comments etc.., I have now fixed this in calibre, but without removing the books and re-transferring I cant see a way of updating the comments... on the book on the Kobo (I do have the metadata management set to automatic in Calibre)
My Kobo Utilities plugin for calibre includes this as a function.

2. When searching on the Kobo is it possible to search for a phrase ect in a book e.g. I am always forgetting the title of a book and it would be useful if I can search for something I can remember which is unique to that book like an unusual character name...
No, the search is only on the title, author and series name.
